Greening signs on for Cottagers

Jonathan Greening has joined Fulham on a permanent deal following the end of his season-long loan from West Brom.

The 31-year-old midfielder has agreed a two-year contract to remain at Craven Cottage.

The former Middlesbrough player was a member of the side beaten in the Europa League final in May and was keen to extend his stay.

Fulham confirmed the move had been made permanent on Thursday.

Greening did have one year remaining on his deal at The Hawthorns but he has chosen not to return to the Midlands despite West Brom's promotion back to the Barclays Premier League.
